Chapter 178. An Interesting Scene
"Appointed Managers?" Both Hundred Shots and Daffodil Daydream gaped with their eyes wide open.
Zhang Yang smiled and explained to them. "That's right, as appointed managers, you will receive proper salary from the guild. You will have to put all your focus into managing the guild. Take it as a real job!"
Both Hundred Shots and Daffodil Daydream exchanged a confused and 'hard-to-believe this was real' kind of look. Both of them had jobs in their real life. It would be unwise for them to give up on their current job to be a virtual game manager. After all, how long could a game last for? 5 years? 10 years? It will eventually die down!
Zhang Yang laughed. "Hold on to your thoughts and listen to my explanation before you reject my proposal. So far, I will pay you 10,000 dollars as the fixed basic salary! In the future development of the guild, you'll get appropriate bonuses!"
Both of them expressed dubious expressions. Zhang Yang continued to explain. "You see, 'God's Miracle' started with around 5,000,000 players. Now, the number has risen to a staggering 170,000,000 players! This took only 2 months! This clearly demonstrates the pulling power of the game! I can be certain that the number of players would even exceed 1 billion! 2 billion, even! What does this mean then? This game is an endless, unlimited market and well of opportunities! If a guild is raised into a proper one, it could become a money-making machine!"
Hundred Shots scratched his chin and said, "Zhan Yu. It's not that I don't believe you! But this is just a too big decision for me to make now! I have to think of the risks and opportunities!"
Daffodil nodded.
Zhang Yang explained further, "As a guild, the perks and advantages would only come after level 50! Look at the current situation of the training grounds. The one closest to the main city is a level 10 training ground. Another area further out is the level 20 training ground, beyond that is the level 30 area and so on! By now, I'm sure that you have experienced it first hand on how troublesome it is just to get to the training grounds. Just taking the "plane" to the training ground would take around 1 to 2 hours!"
Zhang Yang paused a while and continued to speak. "Players would need to restock and resupply, they would need to fix their equipment, and they would need to visit the auction house, banks and more. All these would require them coming back to the main city. Think of how much time is being wasted just walking back and forth!? Right now, the furthest training area would take at least 1 to 2 hours, and when the game matures enough, level 50 fields and up will appear. To save players' time, there will be a territory in the map and has a teleportation circle, linked to the city's teleportation circle! [Teleportation Scroll] can also be used to bind to the map's territory and be used to teleport there as well!"
